Do I have to sign a waiver?
Yes, an electronic version of the waiver is required to be read and agreed to prior to your payment. The paper format will be required as well in person. In order to minimize contact, guests are asked to print, read and sign a copy of release of liability and waiver and a Declaration of Health and Exposure-COVID-19 form and bring it with them.
